On losing ambition and getting a life

On bucket lists...

What's all this talk about bucket lists? What is the point? At the point of kicking the bucket, who the hell cares about ticking things off the list. The problem with giving up that sort of ambition is you're left living for the moment.
Is that such a bad thing.?

One key ambition I have left is to retire at 60. That's not such a grand ambition, up until about 10 years ago it was the normal retirement age for women in the UK until the government decided women should retire at the same age as men ie 65, and then to rub salt into the wound they put up the retirement age all round.

So anyway that means I've got a few years of work life left, then a fair few years of non working life to enjoy. Reaching my potential is possible, but does it matter? If I do my best all the time, I can't do any better.
